Heading back is always a bummer. Know why?
“Why?”
You know what lies ahead, you know the route, you know the lawn is going to need to be mowed when you get home… nothing new, no new discoveries, no excitement of the unknown… only the same old same old, the daily routine of the mundane daily routine.
But there is one good thing for sure.
“What’s that?”
You get to sleep in your own bed, there is something to be said about that. Did you forget anything up top?
“No. I verified my belongings.”
Hahahahah Did you learn anything else on our trip?
“Well, pondering the relationship of followers and leaders… I learned I can really only lead myself. I may end up in a position of authority BUT I won’t be able to MAKE others follow me… that’s on them, I can definitely be a better worker at my job, and I can develop into a follower who would be of benefit to any leader… BUT… if I choose my leaders wisely it will be more beneficial for both us… but there is something else.
Yeah, what’s that?
“It seems there is another “level” to all of this. I just can’t articulate it right now. I don’t have the words. I feel like the labels of follower and leader are too small… compared to the word relationship, and in using that word I can’t help but feel it isn’t about me.”
